American singer Selena Gomez and actress has shared insights into her preparation for her role in the upcoming Spanish musical, ‘Emilia Pérez.’
The pop sensation disclosed that she took a hiatus from her music career and other engagements to dedicate herself to this role. During a Question-and-Answer session with her fellow cast members at the Telluride Film Festival on Sunday, September 1, 2024 she said:
“I stopped working on my music and anything else, and solely focused on this [musical]. Every day, I’d wake up and rehearse the lines over and over again. And I’d call in the middle of the night, my Spanish teacher,” she said.
In this new musical, American Singer Selena Gomez portrays the character Jessi Del Monte. She expressed that singing in the film was a “therapeutic” experience for her. Netflix unveiled the first trailer for the Spanish-language French film on August 26. The film, which also features Zoe Saldaña, is described in its synopsis as “an audacious fever dream that defies genres and expectations.”
In a related news, American Singer Selena Gomez shared a heartfelt tribute to her boyfriend Benny Blanco on Instagram, celebrating his 36th birthday. On Friday morning (March 8), Gomez posted a carousel of photos featuring the couple in various affectionate poses, including hugging, snuggling, and spinning around on a teacup ride.
“Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me,” she wrote. Gomez also included birthday cake and crying eye emojis in her post. Blanco responded with a series of emojis, including kisses and hearts.

This sweet gesture comes shortly after American Singer Selena Gomez and Blanco’s public celebration of her new single, “Love On.” In an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Gomez spoke about the impact Blanco has had on her life, emphasizing the importance of finding someone who respects and understands her.
“I’d have to say overall, it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely. I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome,” she said.
In addition to her personal life, Gomez has been making waves professionally with her role in the upcoming Spanish musical Emilia Pérez, where she’s shown immense dedication by focusing solely on this project and perfecting her Spanish skills.
